Guests rave about the quality of the food here. As noted by one enthusiastic patron, “The vegetables are fresh, and the meal feels balanced and gentle on the body.” The attention to detail, particularly in using seasonal vegetables, creates dishes that are both hearty and light, leaving you feeling satisfied rather than stuffed. One standout offering is the Omakase Deli, available for just ¥1300, which showcases a variety of beautifully crafted sides from the resident vegetable sommelier's expertise.
